Hi Akim

  There is no easy way to sum up the many experiences we crammed into a few short weeks.

  The riads we stayed in were a delight, especially Riad Mabrouka in Fez. And Khalid, our driver, was not only an excellent and careful driver, but an attentive companion as well, who was still willing, after a hard day's driving, to make the extra effort to get us to and from a late dinner. He took good care of us.

  My one real regret is that I couldn't fit one of the gorgeous carved wooden doors into my suitcase!

  So many wonderful pieces appearing in so many unexpected places. Next trip, perhaps.

  Thanks for all your help in arranging this.

  Dear Akim,

  My family and I would like to thank you and your team for the wonderful holiday in Morocco. Our experience was as magical as we had anticipated, with many exciting events thrown in.

  Radouane was amazing and most of the credit for making the trip so fascinating goes to him. He was very patient and put up with our changes in plans with a calm smile. He gave us a real insight into the Moroccan culture and allowed us to understand the culture with an insider's point of view. He introduced us to a great many eating experiences.

  The dinner with your family was a warm and lovely experience. Your sister, brother-in-law and your brother, made us feel so welcome. Sharing a platter of couscous with all of them made us feel a part of

the family. We would like to once again thank you for all the arrangements that

were made.

  Dear Akim

  We have returned from our wonderful time in Morocco.  Shukran for taking our last minute wish and making it into a fantastic reality.  Khalid Nidaazi was a indeed an expert driver and so much more.  He was a patient and knowledgeable host, and fun to travel with (which made the driving even more pleasant).  We felt safe and secure with him in charge, and encountered no difficulties at all (which surprised us greatly, especially since everything had been arranged at the last minute).

  Our guides in each city were great.  We especially appreciated our day in Fez with Abdoul.  The time at the Erg Chebbi went too fast.  The drive from Erfoud to Ouarzazate by way of Tinghir and the Todras Gorge was amazing!  The Valley of 1000 Kasbahs was incredible.

  Some how on this journey it seemed to Tom, and to me, that each day was more incredible than the next.  The drive from Ouarzazate to Marrakech through the High Atlas was spectacular, with women drying their washing on the mountainsides, and homes perched in seemingly impossible places above emerald green fields.

  Riad Bahja was a dream come true.  I felt as if we were stepping into the pages of a magazine( a good one).  The staff were friendly and the location allowed us to have an experience in the medina we never could have had otherwise.

  Shukran for arranging everything so completely.  We didn't know what to expect, and were so greatly surprised to have all of our dreams surpassed!

  Sincerely,

  Dear Akim,

  Thank you SO very much for this wonderful taste of your country. I LOVED Morocco and meeting your sister Myriam. You have organized this so well and I shall recommend you to all of my friends and colleagues.

  PLEASE send me your sister's mailing address as I want to send her something for her generosity in giving me the belly dancing outfit. It was a wonderful visit to the Ryad, the mountains and the Berber house. Your country and the people are truly magnificent and you are a great Ambassador.  Your wife is lovely and that little boy.

   FANTASTIC.

  Thank you so much. My warmest to you.
